Common Questions and Answers about What is the highest dose of lunesta you can take

lunesta

Avatar m tn The highest available dose of Lunesta is 3mg. Recently, thought is that Lunesta, Ambien, and others in this class are very similar to benzodiazepine drugs. But I haven't read much about addiction or withdrawl from these meds. Seems like insomnia would be a given, but you could try melatonin or valerian root to combat that. Good luck either way.
Avatar m tn The opana does the same thing as the fentanyl - - keep those as far apart as you can. Dont mix the lunesta and the diazepam in too close a dose. They will also mirror each others affects. Sounds like Doc Jeff could help a little more if he knew how many of what and at what times he takes them. You have a couple that are used for pain and a couple along the nerve pill line. Its either being dosed improperly or the doses are accumulating and causing a problem for him.
Avatar n tn I know you didn't post it directly to me but, I would take what your doctor prescribes. If you find that it is a problem after giving it a few days to get used to it, then talk to your doctor about reducing the dose. Like you said, she knows that you are a tiny person, so trust in her decision, and give it time to get used to it.
Avatar n tn You can get some good insight into clinical treatment from this letter written by a good thyroid doctor for patients that he sometimes consults with after initial tests and evaluation. The letter is then sent to the participating doctor of the patient to help guide treatment. In the letter, please note the statement, "the ultimate criterion for dose adjustment must always be the clinical response of the patient." http://hormonerestoration.com/files/ThyroidPMD.

Avatar f tn If you had cysts with the low dose - I wouldn't take the high dose without being monitored. I would stick to the lower dose of Femara =) I'm planning on that this month.
Avatar m tn What are you doing different this time? Are you going to meetings, counseling, anything? Do you binge on extras, when you need them or have you used as prescribed always. If it's only the sick, remember that a month is a short time in measuring your life. Years pass so quickly, and more is need to even prevent the sick. How long is long enough. I believe in making a plan while not sick, telling others, and srtick to it.
Avatar f tn Hi and yes you will be ok I was on this drug years ago the one thing though you may do weird cr ap on a higher dose I opened all the cabets in the kitchen as well as had all the burners on the stove on when my wife found me have someone keep a eye on you..
Avatar n tn I take between 14-20 7,5 vicadene everyday for 10 yrs then take 9 mg of lunesta to sleep.
1355301 tn?1287967641 I can understand why you're leary about trying the Ambien - I've never had any trouble with it, but of course, everyone is different and how a medication affects one person may or may not be how it affects someone else. I would suggest if you do decide at some point to give the Ambien a try, definitely try it on a night when your husband is not working, just on teh off chance that you do have a "reaction" to it. What dose of teh Lunesta are you currently taking?
Avatar f tn It's 3 weeks since I've been having a pretty serious depression, including anxiety & sleeplessness. I was put on a new antidepressant LexiPro (15 days now), xanax as needed, which I only need to "take the edge off" when Im shaky, and Lunesta to sleep. This is the 2nd time I've used Lunesta.
Avatar n tn When my doctor gave them to me he told me not to take more then 1 pill for that can be very dangerous.10mg on the reguler ambien is the highest dose i think you can take. That is what my doctor told me.Hope that helps.
Avatar m tn 1.25 is a bit high of a dose to jump, but doable. I found lunesta worked one night, then I had to wait a few nights to take it again. I rotated lunesta, melatonin, and St, John's Wart to keep my tolerance of any one down. Nothing seemed to help for days 5-14 or so, just had to read all night and stretch a lot. I never liked Soma, so no advice on that, accept use them sparingly. Your brain and body can only detox on subs stance at a time, so if you take nothing you will heal faster.
Avatar f tn 50 mg is the recommended dose. If you have trouble sleeping and the xanax dose you take is not effective. Let the prescribing MD know so he can either increase xanax dose or prescribe a sleep aid. Better than self medicating and adding meds to xanax dose. I have tried over 50mg of benadryl to see if it worked better but found anything over 50mg is not more effecrtiveq.
1102233 tn?1308506220 Some people can build up a tolerance to certain medications or even all of them, I know one person for example who builds up a tolerance no matter what they are on. I was on the highest dose of Geodon for example for a day and it kept starting to wear off and I had to be increased until I got to the highest dose there. The current medications also can't fix all symptoms a person experiences like Geodon only made the frequency of my paranoia go away but not the severity as another example.
Avatar f tn You might try taking a combination of Valerian and Melatonin when you stop the Lunesta. I was taking Lunesta in my early withdrawals and it did make me sleep, but that nasty taste was to much for me. I must say I haven't really slept really well since, but the herbs I mention do help somewhat, I take a hot bath before bed then I take them. From what I've heard Lunesta withdrawals are mainly mental, but you can get addicted to just about anything.
Avatar f tn Also do you take these after your last dose at 3 or just throughout the day? Thank you!
492921 tn?1321289896 i am so sorry for the things you have endured. you said it very well, you just take it day by day/one day at a time. i am in the same boat. sometimes when i can not sleep or have insomnia, which i get a couple times a year, i put on the most boring movie ever and just continue to play that same movie everynight while i am trying to get to bed. i found that as the days past, i am able to fall alseep soon into the movie.
266660 tn?1189755834 Did you talk with your doctor about taking the two together, like a half hour before bed? I used to take my kpin before bed with some medication that makes you tired together. How does the lunesta work btw?
233622 tn?1279334905 Ok thank you. Do you take it twice a day or throughout the day. The nurse told me to work up to 40 mg over the next two weeks and to let her know if it is not working.
2021910 tn?1339896686 I know u can take tylenol pm when.ur pregnant but I'm not 100%sure when.it comes.to.lunesta. all u can really do is call ur Dr and ask.
Avatar f tn You may not have experienced all the withdrawal symptoms they look for because of the additional drugs they gave you... maybe....
